N91 - Ask Any Questions and I'll (try) to answer

[tsupatsupa]

1. Loud.. depending on the earphone used, of course way too loud distorts the sound, especially those 'cheap' plugs. I personally use Shure E2c, so i enjoy clear and crisp sound with N91 (this answers your no 3 and 4 question as well)

2. Listening without the plugs, it sounds 'okay', the BASS is accepatble. You can set "LOUDNESS' as you wish.

With or without plugs, or directly connected to my stereo system, N91 produces good sound.

TIP: Get a good earplugs.

Hi Rafe,

Laptop :compaq having a build in WLAN card
I have been using Internet Connection through a Wired LAN card and now i need to make a AD HOC connection from my laptop to my N91. Since i don't have a router or the Access point i was thining is it possible to share my Internet Connection with my laptop and also can i exchange files from my PC to my phone through AD HOC connection?
If Yes then do help me out.although i am comfortable working with my laptop and making connection but i am not being able to configure my phone for that connection
Can u plz guide me through this process?

I believe that a direct connection is not possible. The Nokia Symbian, after the 6600, cannot league the InterNet through the PC's, because they do not have active SPP (Serial Port Protocol with Bluetooth). Or better, eventually they can, but not with a easy way (see this: http://gnubox.dnsalias.org/gnubox/). Thus, I believe that made a connection with the PC will not be easy task.

Hi Rafe,

I know you've answered this question before but forgive me for being dumb. Could you please tell me step by step how I can set a repeating alarm on the N91? Probably one that will ring every weekday at a certain time? I've looked all over the clock application but I still can't see any options for repeating alarms. All I can do at the moment is to set one alarm at a time. Please help.

Thanks.

u cant do that with clock, it doesnt allow alarms to be set for a whole week

[Rafe]

If you want to do repeat alarms you will need to use the excellent Handy Clock. Or (I haven't actually tried this) you can set a recurring appointment in Calendar.

[giamdanny]

What is the excellent Handy Clock? Where can I find this on the phone?

hey Rafe,

Is there anyway to change the ringer volume on the n91? i've already set it to max volume for the ringer but it still seems too soft and i can't even hear it when it sometimes rings in a pocket. This was never the case with a n70.

Is there any other way to view images (like in the n70 left/right scroll style with preview)? The video also does not offer a preview,which can be confusing with similarly named files. is there any way to change it?

The phone occationally hang for a while( few seconds), do i need to update the software? What is the newest software version, how do i find the current software version on the n91, and how do u get it updated?

i visited the epocware website which offers the handy clock, along with other useful handy tools, but it's not freeware. Any way around this?

Thanks a lot for your help...

[Rafe]

Handy Clock is a third party piece of software.

Yes you can change the ringer volume by using a different ringtones. This can be changed in the Profile application.

I don't think so. The gallery application is standard. If you don't like it consider SplashPhoto as an alternative.

The phone hanging is usually a symptom of waiting for something (i would imagine the hard disk in the case of the N91). Not sure what the most recent version of the software is. You can find out yours by inputting *#0000# at the idle screen. You can update it at your local Nokia service center (check your countries Nokia website for your nearest one).

If something is commercial you have to pay for it. Anything else is illegal.

hello rafe, thanks for the help offered, but i'm still not quite sure about the ringer volume. i've tried changing the ringtones around and the ringtone volume to max, yet still the ringer is not as loud as i would liek it to be,or on par with the n70. Is there anything we can do about it?

Hi Everybody/Rafe,

I'm currently in the US and I just recently purchased a n91-5. It does not seem to have a wlan function. I went into Connect/Connection Mgr/, but there seems to be no Wlan function. I read on other forums that it may be the model (N91-5), but is there anything I can do?

Thanks!
